Cafe

👍👍 Must visit! Outstanding cafe in a great location. The cabinet food is equally as tempting as everything on their menu. We order the goats cheese omelette from the menu which was so good. From the cabinet, we got a savoury muffin, triple chocolate brownie and a bacon, spinach and feta brioche - so... People often mention cabinet, coffee, portion,

    Must visit! Outstanding cafe in a great location. The cabinet food is equally as tempting as everything on their menu. We order the goats cheese omelette from the menu which was so good. From the cabinet, we got a savoury muffin, triple chocolate brownie and a bacon, spinach and feta brioche - so freaking tasty! Also ordered a couple of rounds of coffee which met our high standards being visitors from Melbourne!

    This cafe has a great vibe and it’s nicely decorated. Presentation of the food was nice and portion was huge too! You get a huge piece of pork belly for the big breakfast plate which can be a bit heavy for the morning. An extensive range of cabinet food is available. Definitely worth a visit. Service was OK.

    The food was outstanding , not only visually beautiful but tasted delicious! Very impressed also the coffee was perfect. my only issues were that the noise level was quite high and made have a conversation virtually impossible and the toilets appear to be just the local public toilets and are quite a walk away from the cafe Those two things will not stop me coming back and do not stop the service and food from being worth 5 stars !

    Perfect place to come for your morning coffee and pastry, breakfast or brunch. Filter coffee was great but $8 seemed a bit excessive. Really enjoyed the big breakfast, enough for two light eaters to share. Huge piece of pork belly, actually couldn't finish it! I always look at the pastries and think they look tasty - donuts, danish, croissants etc Enjoyed eating breakfast here, but $8 for a filter coffee?

    Delicious brunch with friends today, everyone loved their choice, meals are a generous size, I couldn't finish mine!Plenty of parking outside. Great cabinet choices, too!

    Yummy food and not too long of a wait time for it to be ready. Salmon eggs Benedict was one of the best I've had. Iced chocolate came with a chocolate bow and both tasted so good. Coffee was on the stronger side and the blueberry hotcake had a burst of so many different flavours.

    A café with a good vibe, quite busy, but then it was New Years Eve. The staff were happy to find us a table, and looked after us throughout our brunch. The meals were well plated and tasty.

    The interior of this cafe was absolutely stunning, and the staff were incredibly bubbly, energetic and helpful. We were warned that the portion sizes were large, but simply thought they were just overexaggerating - oh how wrong we were. The portion sizes here are HUGE. I can eat a lot, trust me, but these portions were borderline un-finishable. The five nut granola was served with lots of coconut yoghurt, a few pieces of fresh fruit and bruleed pear. The coconut yoghurt helps tone down the strong molasses and nutty flavours from the granola, however there was so much of it that I felt sick. Coconut yoghurt is very rich, therefore I feel as though greek yoghurt would be more suitable. There were very few pieces of fruit on my plate too which was disappointing. The description of this meal on the menu mentions black doris plum, thus I was somewhat surprised to only receive 1/6th slice of a black doris plum served. The eton rifle was absolutely and utterly humongous, but I can't fault the presentation whatsoever. Surprisingly, all the decadent flavours went together very well. The brioche bread/toast was a very generous portion size, and was so fluffy and soft. Again, the meal was just way too large to finish. This is definitely not an everyday meal, but a fantastic choice if you are really wanting to treat yourself. Didn’t get any cabinet treats however the food looked delicious. Will definitely be back.

    Hands down one of the best brunches I have ever had! The food was all presented beautifully and had so much flavour to it. I had the hotcakes and it genuinely felt like I was eating a hot cake straight out of the oven! The flavours were balanced really well so it wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet - perfect balance and combination. All 4 of us really enjoyed our meals and would return! Have recommended it to a lot of people already 🤩

    The cooked foods is amazing, tastes good, awesome presentation, their cabinet foods looks mouthwatering as well! Ordered K-Pop Pork Benedicts (reminds me of a Chinese dish, Dong Bo Pork), meat is so soft and tender, goes so well with the bread! and Softshell Crab Bruchetta, fresh, soft and crispy, definitely loved it! The shop is busy and a little crowded but that's kinda what to expect for good foods 🤣.

    I had only the blueberry ricotta. It s very nice and fresh with the fruit sauce. The portion is quite big 27$ so can share for 2 people.

    Ordered Portobello Benedict, Fried chicken and Croffle, Carrot tumeric juice and Ice coffee. Great portion, and Plenty of cabinet food choices.

    Great food and service. Cabinet also looked very yummy. We had a big breakfast and hot cakes. Very impressed! Both plates are very different from same boring "can find everywhere" dishes and we were delighted for that. Good job team!

    Ordered a cappuccino and Coffee tasted watered down, more milk than coffee. We ordered a sour berry cheesecake and very hard no taste and clearly it had been in the cabinet for a few days, old fridge taste to it chewy, went with huge expectations and left extremely disappointed, I'm still trying to find the taste of cheesecake in the "cheesecake "🤔 more like cardboard taste so far 😐. Hope others had a better experience
